PPA293 and FMS 229

It's a wet autumn day but after the long drought of summer, it's a pleasant relief. Being a long weekend as well, things are looking good. So today, I've combined two challenges: the soft, dreamy, spring colours from Pals Paper Arts and an interesting sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

Because the colours in the challenge were so spring-like, naturally I started thinking flowers and got out a set I haven't used for a long time, Altenew's Painted Flowers. It's a tricky wee beast to use, with its three steps but it makes such a pretty image, it's worth persevering with. I masked a strip of the background and used Timeless Textures to create a soft band of colour for the flowers to sit on.

What a stunning CAS card! Love the flowers and the border that they are sitting on! The recipient of this card is a lucky friend. Thanks for including the PPA color challenge in your stamping fun this week!

I love the masking to create the strip of spots for the flowers to float on. The flowers make have tested you yet you make it look effortless. And I love the inside as much as the front. Thanks for sharing your creativity with the Pals this week.
